It seems like the backslash functionality of the Sort Key in Query is not working on our system (RE 7.81). When I sort organizations with names starting with The, they are sorted by that word. For pretty much all of our records like that, we've got a backslash to change the sort criteria (e.g. The\Hutchinson Foundation).

Is it just us? Any ideas?

We're on RE Version 7.81.1334.12, and the funny thing is I thought the sort key mechanism was broken too because it didn't work during a live training session I was conducting (yikes!), but I re-checked just now and it seems to work as advertised IN QUERY. However, in the Find Constituent interface, there is mixed results regarding order depending on the substring you use for the search criteria (try different combos with wildcard "*" -- it's good fun
During the live session, I may have tried entering forward-slash instead of back-slash, so I can't say for sure it wasn't working even on that occasion.
